BW&BK has received the following press release:

Drummers Deen Castronovo and Matt Laug, guitarist Stef Burns and bassist Tony Franklin are among the international rock musicians featured in Italian rockstar Vasco Rossi's new live and rarities compilation, to be published by EMI Italy on November 27th.

The CD / DVD pack is titled Vasco Rossi Tracks 2 (Inediti & Rarità), and contains three new studio tracks, and previously unreleased live performances, covers and outtakes. It can be preordered now from iTunes.
